Guild Wars 2

I’m slowly finding this game boring. What aspects of the game do you find exciting and rejuvenating? What do you think makes this a fun MMORPG? love to hear personal stories!

WvW and patch updates. That is why I continue to play this game after 800hrs and getting my character looking exactly how I want it to look. The occasional PvE adventure with my friends also does wonders.

try to do things with other ppl (wvw)

All MMOs are better if you have the right people to play them with. If I played this game solo, I’d be done by now…having enjoyed myself but have little content I haven’t done.

My guild keeps it fresh and interesting. So does helping other people.

About 20 minutes ago, I ran into a small guild attempting a guild rush in Diessa Plateau. They might have failed the rush, but one of my guildies and I followed along with them, and helped kill the stuff that would have killed them.

Not to say they wouldn’t have finished without our help…they may have…and they may not have. We got no actual “reward” for helping but at the end, we had a nice chat with the other guild members and it seems they really appreciated the assistance.

Definitely more fun than farming mobs in Orr.

As Vayne said, the game gets boring soon when playing alone. I’ve leveld 2 characters to 80 pretty much alone. Now I’ve joined an awesome guild and I’m having loads of fun again.

And try doing things you haven’t done before maybe. Have you done all the dungeons? Have you done fractals?
And if you’ve done them… have you done speed-runs, or runs with friendly people who who instead of getting angry/annoyed can’t stop laughing when someone gets blown of the ledges 20 times in the one with the giant and the seals while trying to guide them through? (well she had some horrible lag… though it was still quite funny)

Playing with people who see the game as a… game. Is a lot of fun.

It’s true. We were playing the grawl fractal. At the last boss, if you get a fire bubble on you it not only burns you but others who you come in contact with. One day, spontaneously, people in my guild who got the fire bubble just started playing tag in the middle of the fractal. We’re trying to kill the fire elemental, avoid the lava elementals when they spawn and suddenly we’re all trying to tag each other with flame.

It was hysterical.

I like :-

1) WvW, this is my favourite part of GW2 and is very dynamic, constantly changing battlefield which keeps me interested, been getting some regular recent updates which is great.

2) Chill’in in PvE (open world), I still like wondering the world with friends or just helping out here and there. I do this when I get tired of dieing in WvW or PvP.

3) PvP, battling others on a smaller scale is fun and its great for playing about with different builds because it doesn’t cost any gold…

Beyond that I pretty much like every part of GW2, JP’s, min-games etc…with 1 exception Dungeons…

I will exclude the Molten Foundry dungeon and the Mad KIngs dungeon, both of which I loved.

However, the rest of the dungeons, designed and implemented by the dungeon team I personally find pretty awful…

I have given them a fair chance, done about 30+ runs, trying to like them but I don’t…

They use to many cheesy mechanics, like swaming you with hordes of small critters that do huge damage, bosses with way, way too many hps, skills designed to lock down players giving them no chance of fighting back such as constant stun/knock back, immobalise and also your foes just being plain invulnerable. Also, for dungeons you after pretty much lock yourself into a specific build type to be successful, which means your character can only really do dungeons effectively or your forced to keep forking out money all the time changing your build. Finally, the rewards are just not worth it, at all…

Running. I don’t do it in real life cause ….I have no reason to run. But As soon I jump on my engineer it’s go go go. I live the ability to Maintain my Swiftness boon on her. I play Guild wars 1 still to this day. My Engineer/Ranger are the Same person in different Whateveritworksformeok?

The game has no rewards other than social rewards from playing it with your friends. Once your friends get bored or also realize it is one of the least rewarding mmos you can play it gets boring because then you’re playing it alone.

They need to change the combat, boring builds, loot system aka RNG, remove DR, add things players actually want to the gem store (emotes and dances are a start) and lose the RNG gambling chests, make world bosses fun, stop making dungeons even worse than they already are and admit the design of them is terrible and many other things.

Actually I find other MMOs far less rewarding than this one, friends aside. Because my rewards aren’t necessarily loot. Fun is a type of reward too and I find this game fun. I don’t find other games fun, even though they may give me more loot.

Of course, the obvious fact is that the more loot given out freely in any game, the higher the inflation in that game and what ends up happening is that it tends to balance out. I don’t know why most people seem to ignore this basic economic fact.

Games should be fun and not be centered around an economy in my opinion and that’s just my opinion as it is my opinion that it is the least rewarding mmo on the market.

I’m glad you find it rewarding but I didn’t once I figured out everything was focused on the gem store.

If everything is focused on the gem store, as you claim, how are so many playing for free without buying gems. There are plenty of people doing that.

I think this opinion of yours has a long way to go to be proven. I’ve seen games focused around the gem store (Runes of Magic anyone), where you can rent a mount for a week with cash. This isn’t one of them.

We disagree :-)

WvW, PvP, fractals, other dungeons, leveling up new characters, jumping puzzles, general achievements, crafts, bosses and events/world events.

There’s always something for me to do if I don’t wanna do something else.

The game is very monotonous. I have a great guild but still it’s not enough. The world is beautiful, but grinding piece of map after piece od map gets me sleepy. Skills, armors, crafting also not very exciting. Dunno what to do. I have 2 characters with max lvl. The world is very beautiful, but the rest is so minimalist..

For me, I mostly do WvW, but also have fun with my guild and friends doing Dungeons (not only the overly farmed CoF), Guild Missions and doing random events (like a cooking contest, who could prepare the best menu xD)

Just remember that we aren’t paying a subscription for the game, yes there’s many things that the game needs to improve on, but they’ve been working to fix them and to also provide new content.

My advice would be, if you get bored of the game go do something else, you aren’t constantly paying for it so there is no need to “max out the money you payed”… The game will always be here even if you only log in for the monthly events, too much of something gets boring.

P. D. Sorry if the last part looks like I’m being rude, just a friendly advice.
